Golf at The Village
Golf course Conditions getting better after loosing well for the summer!! Hats off to golf course and crew !!
Beautiful course!
Not alot of room for err on this course! Lots of lava rock, great views along the way!
Fun golf course!!!
A Fun course to play. Pace of play was excellent. Matt in pro shop very good to deal with.
Not a course that will make you think—never seen a hole like that before—but a really enjoyable place to play.
Would like to see a bit better rate—-but it is Hawaii after all.
Hawaiian Wonder!
We loved this corse! The stagg was super friendly and the course was in outstanding condition. I loved how water and lava rock were used it the course layout to challenge our game. Our only bummer for the day was the extremely slow group in front of us from hole 4 - 11. That's just golf at times. I strongly recommend giving Waikoloa Beach Course a try to anyone who has not played here yet!
Waikoloa Village golf, wide and walkable.
Course is wide open and it is good for those who like to drive the ball. Four sets of tee boxes. It can get windy up here. The sand bunkers are filled with volcanic grit., because of the wind. However, they are playable. The course has a few forced carries. Course has an interesting layout and it is walkable. Fairways are thin with a number of dead spots in them. Same with the greens. Would play again because it's an interesting layout. It's a fun course as it dares you to go for it. Would play again. A bit pricey for its conditions. For after golf amenities it's hard to beat Johnny's Restaurant which has both good drinks and food.
overpriced;underperformed
NOT comparable to Doral courses, Edgewood Tahoe. Kapalua Plantation etc. but comparably priced. LOTS of dead grass in fairways and rough. Greens OK. Called "Beach Course" but only ONE hole approaches shoreline . Beautiful views..... of condos surrounding almost every fairway. Cup of coffee... drum roll please... $7. Rented clubs that arrived in my cart dirty. Female clubhouse staff NOT FRIENDLY. NO Marshall or starter to regulate groups creating ugly wait times. played this course because I never played it before. never again. been there...done that. Not alot of "Aloha" at this course.
This course needs TLC so bad!
Poor fairways and poor greens. That’s all you get at this course. Not worth the money. Really I have no idea how they got their good ratings.
Very friendly staff
Great course, very good shape.
Very helpful staff, in all departments.
Great views nice people, I will be back
It's golf in Hawaii so how bad can it be.....but
It's golf in Hawaii so why am I complaining? Well...I got a hot deal on golf now for $90 so we bought it. Then at the check in counter they said we shouldn't have gotten that deal because that's for residents...but they let it go. Well...to be honest I think I got robbed at that price. The fairways were awful. The grass was diseased or something. You could hit a beautiful shot right down the center and chances are you're still playing off of dirt or diseased fairway. Greens and tee boxes were okay and not a problem. The majority of the sand traps were not sand at all but large pebbles. Yes...like rock pebbles. You'd think of all places that you'd have no problem getting plenty of sand for your traps....Hawaii would be iit. Bottom line....if you're on vacation, pay the extra $100-$150 dollars and play Mauna Kea. You won't regret it. You did'n't come to Hawaii to play an overpriced municipal course. I'm sure this place has seen better days and for their sake I hope it won't be long before they turn it back around and make it an enjoyable place for those who aren't paying the resident fee.
Poor conditions
I’ve played this course before and it was enjoyable. This time, the course hadn’t been watered for a month per an employee, so the fairways and greens were pretty brown which was frustrating since I’d paid in advance and wasn’t able to get a refund. I know things are tough with the pandemic, however paying regular rates with the course conditions are they were, didn’t sit well with me.
Whatever
Lots of rules and Covid related procedures which frankly, are unnecessary. U can’t get a virus off a cracker wrapper that has been out in the sun. Just sayin.
